VIVO Single Monitor Arm Desk Mount (STAND-V001)
The VIVO STAND-V001 is a single, fully-articulating steel desk arm with a 16-inch pole that lifts and tilts a 13-38" screen (≤22 lb) to eye level, so the head and neck stay neutral instead of flexing down to a low monitor. It clamps or grommet-mounts and uses standard VESA 75×75/100×100 holes.

What the research says
-
“FHP is frequently observed when the height of the monitor is lower than the eye position”
A monitor sitting below eye level promotes forward head posture (neck flexion).
Comparison of neck posture/fatigue by monitor type (J. Phys. Ther. Sci.) · 2020 ↗ -
“VDU height has been shown to affect neck alignment, with prolonged neck postures in which the neck is either bent forwards (flexed) or arched back (extended), associated with neck MSD in computer users.”
Screen height drives neck alignment, and a flexed neck is linked to musculoskeletal disorders in computer users.

“the top of the screen is not at a level higher than the operator's eye”
Ergonomic guidance places the top of the screen at, not above, eye level to protect the neck and shoulders.

|---|---|---|---|
| Lift mechanism | Mechanical spring tension | Constant-force spring | Gas spring |
| Weight capacity | Up to 22 lbs | 7-25 lbs | 4.4-19.8 lbs |
| Max screen | 38" ultrawide / 32" | Up to 34" | Up to 32" |
| Vertical travel | 16" pole | 13" lift | ~15.6" |
| Build / price | Steel, budget | Aluminum, premium | Aluminum, mid |
Buy it if
- Anyone whose screen sits too low and wants it raised to eye level cheaply
- Users with heavy or large (up to 38" ultrawide) panels on a tight budget
- Desks suited to clamp or grommet mounting
- People who set height once and rarely re-adjust
Skip it if
- Anyone wanting effortless, frequent one-hand height changes (choose a gas-spring arm)
- Owners of monitors over 22 lb or without VESA holes
- Glass desks or surfaces too thick/thin for the clamp
The verdict
For the single job of getting a low screen up to eye level and off your neck, the VIVO STAND-V001 is the honest value pick: steel build, big 22 lb / 38" capacity, and standard VESA mounting at a budget price. Just accept that its mechanical spring is stiffer to adjust than premium gas-spring arms — fine if you set it and forget it.

- Will it lift a small monitor or laptop to eye level?
- Yes for monitors — the 16-inch pole plus tilt raises a 13-32" screen so the top sits at/near eye level and the neck stays neutral. Laptops need a separate VESA laptop tray, since they have no VESA holes. Source CCOHS height guidance ↗
- Does it fit a heavy 34-38" ultrawide?
- Up to 38" and 22 lb is supported — generous for a budget arm. Verify your panel's actual weight, though: large curved ultrawides can exceed 22 lb, and mechanical spring arms sag if overloaded. Source J. Phys. Ther. Sci. (PMC) ↗
- How does it differ from a gas-spring arm?
- It uses mechanical spring tension set with a hex key, so height tweaks take more force than a one-finger gas-spring or constant-force arm. The trade-off is lower cost and high weight capacity. Source CCOHS Office Ergonomics ↗
